Warm Lentil Salad with Sausage Reviews

This bistro classic is enriched by rounds of smoky, spicy sausage. All you need is a leafy salad and a glass of red wine. The French green lentils that we prefer are prized for their finesse; they also hold their shape better than some other varieties and are less starchy.

This was really, really good! I made it basically as written, but sauteed the kielbasa (and an extra andouille sausage I had left) before the veggies, then cooked the veggies in the fat from the sausage. This will become a staple.

Really, really good. I only used 1 c French lentils and 2 T oil and vinegar, plus turkey kielbasa and it turned out rich and delicious. I cooked the kielbasa longer til it was caramelized which was wonderful. I'll definitely make this again (it's great for bag lunches) and experiment with different permutations (shallots, bacon, etc.)

Excellent. I ran out of vinegar so I used 1/ 2 wine and 1/2 vinegar. I also used only 1/4 cup olive oil (I like my vinaigrettes tart) and 1/2 the amount of sausage. Still delicious!

The vinaigrette is great and balances out the flavors perfectly! A perfect winter meal.

This is really good. I made the green lentils with chicken stock, added some garlic and used aidells chicken and apple sausage. Husband and critic was dubious, but went back three times and declared it restaurant quality. The red wine vinegar/mustard dressing is perfect- I used whole grain mustard- it cuts through the richness. Cook the lentils gently and leave a little bite to the carrots. Delicious, somewhat healthy comfort food. Yum.

This looked so good in the picture but when I actually tasted it...wowee! I made as directed. Froze leftovers and they are still delish.

My boyfriend and I thought this was a wonderful summer comfort food meal. Will definitely make again!

This is fine...nothing to write home about. I won't need to make this again.

I ordered some expensive lentils grown in Le Puy,France. This is the recipe I choose to make with them, boy was I disappointed! This dish had very little flavor to me unless the bite you were taking had a piece of sausage in it.
